Where can you find a birthday or Christmas gift idea as original as the Tasmanian devil dump?
A uniquely funny gift, the Tasmanian devil dump is a masterpiece of human ingenuity not to say a pretty good effort on the part of the Tasmanian devil. Our devil, Dennis, is less than a year old and that’s why he delivers such good product.
A vicar is to apply for a drinks licence so he can sell wine and beer at his small village church.
The Reverend Geraint ap Iorwerth could be made licensee of St Peter ad Vincula Church in Pennal, near Machynlleth, close to the Powys-Gwynedd border.
He joked that there were plans to serve more than just spirits, though, with lager and wine on the menu too.
Mr ap Iorwerth said he might also open a bar with proper pub-style pumps in a new church cafe in the future.
But at the moment the licence is needed to sell and serve drinks at parish functions such as concerts, weddings or christenings.
The vicar will go to magistrates’ court next month to apply for the licence.
Mr ap Iorwerth said: “It is quite common for larger churches and cathedrals to apply for a licence, and we want to make sure we are within the law.
“We have plans to serve lager and red and white wine – that is what the average punter wants.”
He added: “We also want to serve drinks at a cafe at the rear of the church.
APRIL 24–Oregon educators want law enforcement officials to probe who was responsible for mailing parents a letter on school letterhead suggesting that they supply students with alcohol at post-prom parties. The letter, a copy of which you’ll find below, was sent this week to families of students at Portland’s Lincoln High School. Recipients of the missive were urged to consider opening their homes this Saturday for parties as “a safe, secure place for students to have fun,” adding if adults “provide the alcohol, you can have peace of mind knowing that they did not acquire it illegally. Condoms were included with the letters–which were written on Portland Public Schools stationery–since “STD epidemics have spread through other high school communities and we want to prevent such an outbreak as best we can.”
